Now, I'm not thinking this is any kind 'ground problem' but other solutions is unplug and plug back in the various connects and cards in your computer. It could be the mobo isn't seated well.Also, this isn't an unusual problem, not uncommon but I have seen it in a few post over the years about moving the mouse or the HD spins up causing static wether they had a sound card or not. Some were caused by usb ports, using a different one might help.Going back to 'static' and 'ground' problems, many houses have a double ground problem. The house is grounded when built then the telephone person comes out and grounds it and then the cable guy grounds it.
This can cause problems with being really grounded. I know, I had this problem start when I first had cable installed but instead of static I had a 'ground loop hum'.Yanis has a good suggestion on removing the card to another computer to see if that's the problem. The easier solution would be to remove and use the onboard audio to see if you still have the 'static' sound and go from there.Happy listening, the Prisoner. I have had the weird noises using usb mouse before.

Can I setup the Sound Blaster Z to a '2.1' configuration such that the high frequencies are passed out the Left/Right stereo jack, and the low frequencies are passed out the Center/Sub stereo jack? According to this picture in the manual (page 32), it looks like it would be possible, but I cannot find any definite answer either way.

Hey Guys,Short post this time. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster Z and it makes 1. Static noises and 2. When I move the mouse or the hard drives works, the static follows the same ' pattern ' as the devices.Any suggestions?Just to make it clear this IS NOT a problem with crossfire / sli. This isnt a power issue.
Its a driver bug.It's a problem with LatencyFix:1. Open up playback devices right click soundblaster z.
Disable enhancements in the advanced tab2. If that doesnt fix it download DPC Latency Checker and watch the graph for a bit with some music on. The red spikes will indicate lat spikes which is your problem.3. Open up device manager and go to audio devices.4. Disable 'Digital In' and SPDIFThis completely fixed my problem. Although its annoying to have to disable the digital in and SPDIF OUT. It will fix the problem.
